Epcoritamab Compared to Observation for Treating B-cell Lymphoma Patients Not in Complete Remission After CD19-directed CAR-T Therapy

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

This phase II trial compares epcoritamab to standard practice (observation) for the treatment of patients with B-cell lymphomas who are not in complete remission after treatment with CD19-directed chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy. Epcoritamab is a bispecific antibody. It works by simultaneously attaching to a molecule called CD20 on cancerous B-cells and a molecule called CD3 on effector T-cells, which are a type of immune cell. When epcoritamab binds to CD20 and CD3, it brings the two cells together and activates the T-cells to kill the cancerous B-cells. Epcoritamab may increase a patient's chances of achieving complete remission after CD19-directed CAR-T therapy, compared to standard observation.

  13. * NOTE: If your site laboratory reports use different units of measurement than what is required by the protocol eligibility requirements, please use the "Lab Test Unit Conversion Worksheet" available on the ACCRU website under "General Forms."
  14. * Negative serum pregnancy test done =\< 7 days prior to registration for a woman of childbearing potential (WOCBP) only
  15. * NOTE: A WOCBP is a sexually mature female who:
